Pour an inch of water into a large pan. Season generously with salt. Bring to a boil. Add kale.
Cover and cook until kale is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Transfer to a large bowl.

Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet until some fat renders. Add onion. Cook until bacon is
crisp and onion is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon and onion
to bowl with kale.

Add potatoes and flour to kale mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Form into 12 cakes.

Pour off fat from skillet. Add butter. Melt over medium heat. Working in batches, cook potato
cakes until golden brown on both sides, about 6 minutes.
